QCon is a practitioner-driven conference designed for team leads, architects and project management. There is no other IT event in the US with similar opportunities for learning, networking, and tracking innovation occurring in the enterprise software development community in San Francisco. Plus, we always have awesome speakers!

We invite students, interns and other IT-interested individuals to volunteer at QCon and participate in this amazing IT event. As a software volunteer at QCon San Francisco, you get a chance to network and learn from the hottest rock stars in Java, Object Orientation and .NET.

QCon SF provides 5 content-rich days from Monday, November 5th to Friday, November 9th. Monday to Wednesday are the main conference days, and Thursday and Friday are set-aside for workshops (hands-on training).

What to expect from this Volunteer Opportunity?

As QCon volunteer you will help with logistical onsite support during the event – including badge scanning, directing attendees to their seats, registration staffing, conference or/and tutorial room monitoring and other similar onsite event work. Being a room monitor will allow you to attend some presentations and /or workshops for free in return for some help.

There will also be a drawing for a prize on the last day of the event - for the volunteers only. You will need to have fulfilled at least 3 full days of volunteer work to be able to win. We will try to accommodate specific schedules. We are looking for volunteers who are available at least 2 full days during the conference days (between Monday and Wednesday). Volunteers who have more availability will be given priority to be a room monitor the workshops.

QCon San Francisco volunteers are expected to take care of their own transportation, parking and lodging. Breakfast and lunch will be provided for free during the course of the week as part of the conference. Students who need a volunteer certification at the end of the week for your resume, please let us know. Please note that representatives from sponsor companies are not eligible to be a QCon volunteer.
